'Vorrichtung zum hängenden Transport von PET-Flaschen''Device for hanging transport of PET bottles'
"Vorrichtung zum hängenden Transport von PET-Flaschen'"Device for hanging transport of PET bottles"
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf eine Vorrichtung zum hängenden Transport von PET-Flaschen.The invention relates to a device for the hanging transport of PET bottles.
Im Zuge sich verbreitender Mehrwegsysteme auch für Kunststoff flaschen, insbesondere für vergleichsweise strapazierfähige PET-Flaschen, werden diese mehrfach benutzt, d.h. sie müssen, wie bei Glasflaschen im Mehrwegsystem üblich, in Kästen zu den Füllanlagen gebracht werden, die Flaschen und die Kästen müssen gereinigt werden, die leeren Flaschen müssen zur Füllstation transportiert werden und die gefüllten schließlich den Gebindekästen wieder zugeführt werden, um sie dem Verbraucher letztendlich zur Verfügung zu stellen. As reusable systems for plastic bottles become more widespread, especially for comparatively durable PET bottles, these are used multiple times, i.e. they have to be brought to the filling plants in crates, as is usual with glass bottles in the reusable system, the bottles and the crates have to be cleaned, the empty bottles have to be transported to the filling station and the filled ones finally have to be returned to the container crates in order to ultimately make them available to the consumer.
Es ist dabei bekannt, beispielsweise die leeren Flaschen über Transportbänder stehend zu transportieren, es ist auch bekannt, sie mittels Druckluft weiter zu fördern, da sie über kein besonders großes Eigengewicht verfügen.It is known, for example, to transport the empty bottles upright on conveyor belts; it is also known to convey them further using compressed air, since they do not have a particularly high weight.
Die bekannten Transportarten weisen aber eine Reihe von Problemen auf, die insbesondere mit dem geringen Gewicht der zu transportierenden Flaschen zusammenhängen.However, the known modes of transport present a number of problems, which are particularly related to the low weight of the bottles to be transported.
Hier setzt die Erfindung an, deren Aufgabe darin besteht, ein Transportsystem zu schaffen zum hängenden Transport von PET-Flaschen, das insbesondere variabel ist und sich den jeweiligen Anforderungen leicht anpassen kann.This is where the invention comes in, the task of which is to create a transport system for the hanging transport of PET bottles, which is particularly variable and can easily adapt to the respective requirements.
Mit einer Vorrichtung der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung durch zwei parallel laufende, in Kettenführungen geführte Transportketten, die zwischen sich einen Transportkanal zur Aufnahme der Flaschenhälse bilden, gelöst, wobei jedes Kettenglied mit in Richtung auf den Transportkanal ausgerichteten Tragansätzen versehen ist, die sich in der Transportlage unter eine Schulter am Kragen der zu transportierenden Flaschen legen, wobei die Kettenglieder mit senkrecht zum Transportkanal ausgerichteten oberen und unteren FührungsStegen versehen sind, in die Führungsleisten des Transportsystems eingreifen. With a device of the type described at the outset, this object is achieved according to the invention by two parallel transport chains guided in chain guides, which form a transport channel between them for receiving the bottle necks, wherein each chain link is provided with support lugs aligned in the direction of the transport channel, which in the transport position lie under a shoulder on the collar of the bottles to be transported, wherein the chain links are provided with upper and lower guide webs aligned perpendicular to the transport channel, into which guide rails of the transport system engage.
Mit der erfindungsgemäßen Vorrichtung, die sich insbesondere der an den PET-Flaschen vorgesehenen Halskragen bedient, ist es möglich, die Flaschen hängend zu transportieren, wobei eine sichere und saubere Führung der Flaschen problemlos möglich gemacht wird. Dabei ist es unerheblich, ob die Flaschen leer oder gefüllt transportiert werden.With the device according to the invention, which uses in particular the collars provided on the PET bottles, it is possible to transport the bottles hanging, which makes it easy to guide the bottles safely and cleanly. It is irrelevant whether the bottles are transported empty or full.

Da die Kettenglieder in Führungsleisten geführt sind, können sie problemlos nicht nur ganz exakt auf Abstand zueinander gehalten werden, um im Parallellaufbetrieb die Flaschen an ihren Hälsen zu transportieren, durch die Führungen sind auch sehr präzise Kurvengestaltungen möglich, wobei es die eingesetzten Kettenglieder auch zulassen, nicht nur Kurven in der Horizontalebene, sondern auch in der Vertikalebene zu ermöglichen.Since the chain links are guided in guide rails, they can not only be kept at a precise distance from one another in order to transport the bottles by their necks in parallel operation, the guides also enable very precise curve designs, whereby the chain links used also allow curves to be made not only in the horizontal plane, but also in the vertical plane.
Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Dabei ist es vorteilhaft, die Führungsleisten zur Aufnahme der Kettenglieder an stegartigen, etwa TT-förmigen Tragblechen zu befestigen mit je einem Paar von Aufnahmen für untere Führungsleisten und obere Führungsleisten für das transportierende und das rücklaufende Kettentrum.Embodiments of the invention emerge from the subclaims. It is advantageous to attach the guide rails for receiving the chain links to web-like, approximately TT-shaped support plates with a pair of mounts for lower guide rails and upper guide rails for the transporting and returning chain strands.
Zweckmäßig sind auch die Tragbleche im wesentlichen paarweise an einem weiteren gemeinsamen Träger angeordnet, wie dies die Erfindung ebenfalls vorsieht, wobei beispielsweise diese Tragbleche an einer leicht zu verlegenden und an die jeweiligen räumlichen Gegebenheiten anpaßbaren Rohrkonstruktion schellenartig befestigbar sind.It is also expedient for the support plates to be arranged essentially in pairs on a further common support, as is also provided for by the invention, whereby, for example, these support plates can be fastened in the manner of a clamp to a pipe construction which is easy to lay and adaptable to the respective spatial conditions.
Zweckmäßig kann es sein, die Führungsleisten zur Führung des Transportkettenpaares gekrümmt auszubilden zur Bildung von Kurven in der Horizontalebene und/oder in der Vertikal-It may be useful to design the guide rails for guiding the transport chain pair in a curved manner to form curves in the horizontal plane and/or in the vertical plane.
ebene, wie dies eingangs bereits dargestellt wurde.level, as already shown at the beginning.
Da die Transportketten nicht beliebige Längen aufweisen können, um wirtschaftlich betrieben und angetrieben werden zu können, sieht die Erfindung auch vor, daß eine Mehrzahl von Transportkettenpaaren in einer Förderanlage angeordnet sind, wobei an den Übergängen, von einem Transportkettenpaar auf das folgende Transportkettenpaar die Kettenumlenkrollen eines Paares gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet sind. Damit wird erreicht, daß in den sich durch die Umlenkung an den Umlenkrollen ergebende, sich vergrößernde Abstände zwischen den Kettengliedern nicht eine solche Größe erreicht, daß die zu transportierende Flasche durch die entstehende Lücke fällt, durch das Versetzen der Umlenkrollen können die entstehenden Lücken minimiert werden.Since the transport chains cannot be of any length in order to be able to be operated and driven economically, the invention also provides that a plurality of transport chain pairs are arranged in a conveyor system, with the chain deflection rollers of one pair being arranged offset from one another at the transitions from one transport chain pair to the next. This ensures that the increasing distances between the chain links resulting from the deflection at the deflection rollers do not reach such a size that the bottle to be transported falls through the resulting gap; the resulting gaps can be minimized by offsetting the deflection rollers.
Weitere Vorteile, Einzelheiten und Merkmale der Erfindung ergeben sich aufgrund der nachfolgenden Beschreibung sowie anhand der Zeichnung. Diese zeigt inFurther advantages, details and features of the invention will become apparent from the following description and the drawing. This shows in

Die allgemein mit 1 bezeichnete Vorrichtung wird, wie sich beispielsweise aus Fig. 1 ergibt, aus einzelnen Modulen bzw. Teilelementen zu dem jeweils gewünschten Transportsystem zusammengestellt, die in Fig. 1 teilweise abgebrochen, in Aufsicht dargestellten Teilelemente sind dort allgemein mit 2 bzw. 2a, 2b und 2c bezeichnet. Diese modulartigen bzw. in Art eines Bausatzes zusammenzufügenden Elemente 2 bestehen je aus zwei parallel laufenden Transportketten 3, die als Paar zusammenwirken mit je einem Antrieb 4 für jedes Element des Kettenpaares 3 und einem Endbereich 5 mit Kettenspanner. Dieser Bereich ist in Fig. 3 ohne die motorischen Antriebe in Aufsicht dargestellt.The device generally designated 1 is, as can be seen for example in Fig. 1, assembled from individual modules or sub-elements to form the respective desired transport system. The sub-elements shown in Fig. 1, partially broken off and viewed from above, are generally designated 2 or 2a, 2b and 2c. These modular elements 2, which can be assembled in the manner of a kit, each consist of two parallel transport chains 3 which work together as a pair with a drive 4 for each element of the chain pair 3 and an end region 5 with a chain tensioner. This region is shown in Fig. 3 without the motor drives in a view from above.
Wie sich beispielsweise aus Fig. 5 ergibt, läuft jede der Ketten 3 des Transportkettenpaares, d.h. jedes vor- und jedes rücklaufende Trum der jeweiligen Kette 3, in oberen undAs can be seen from Fig. 5, for example, each of the chains 3 of the transport chain pair, i.e. each forward and each return run of the respective chain 3, runs in upper and

unteren Führungsleisten 6, die ihrerseits in etwa TT-förmigen Tragblechen 7 fixiert sind, wobei diese Tragbleche 7 ihrerseits an Systemtragblechen 8 befestigt sind, die über entsprechende Befestigungsschellen 9 an einem rohrförmigen Montagesystem 10 fixiert sind.lower guide rails 6, which in turn are fixed in approximately TT-shaped support plates 7, whereby these support plates 7 are in turn fastened to system support plates 8, which are fixed to a tubular mounting system 10 via corresponding fastening clamps 9.
Um eine solche Führung zu ermöglichen, weisen die in Fig. mit 11 bezeichneten Kettenglieder ein Paar von nach oben weisenden FührungsStegen 12 auf und entsprechende, nach unten weisende Führungsstege 13 und selbstverständlich horizontal nach außen weisende Tragstege 14, die sich unter einen mit 15 bezeichneten Kragen einer PET-Flasche 16 legen und durch ihren Synchronlauf diese Flaschen 16 damit durch den mit 18 bezeichneten Transportkanal fördern.In order to enable such guidance, the chain links designated 11 in Fig. have a pair of upwardly pointing guide webs 12 and corresponding downwardly pointing guide webs 13 and, of course, horizontally outwardly pointing support webs 14, which are placed under a collar designated 15 of a PET bottle 16 and, through their synchronous running, convey these bottles 16 through the transport channel designated 18.
Wie sich insbesondere aus Fig. 3 in Verbindung mit Fig. 6 ergibt, sind im Übergangsbereich von einem Kettenpaar zum anderen Transportkettenpaar die jeweiligen Einzelketten mit ihren mit 19 bezeichneten Umlenkrollen, in Fig. 3 sind die Umlenkrollen des einen Kettenpaares mit 19, die des anderen mit 19a bezeichnet, um ein gewisses Maß gegeneinander versetzt, wobei der sich zwangsläufig ergebende Spaltbereich, der ein Ausfahren der Flaschen zwischen zwei Umlenkrollen ermöglicht, jeweils mit einer Gleitführung 20 überbrückt, derart, daß sich dieser Führung 20 in jedem Falle noch ein förderndes Kettentrum gegenüber befindet.As can be seen in particular from Fig. 3 in conjunction with Fig. 6, in the transition area from one chain pair to the other transport chain pair, the respective individual chains with their deflection rollers designated 19 - in Fig. 3, the deflection rollers of one chain pair are designated 19 and those of the other 19a - are offset from one another by a certain amount, with the inevitably resulting gap area, which enables the bottles to be moved out between two deflection rollers, being bridged by a sliding guide 20 in such a way that there is always a conveying chain strand opposite this guide 20.
Werden, wie in Fig. 3 angedeutet, die Flaschen von links nach rechts gefördert, bewegen die in Fig. 3 links mit 3a bezeichneten Ketten im Förderkanal 18 die Flaschen ebenfalls von links nach rechts. Gerät der Flaschenhals in den Bereich der in Fig. 3 unteren Umlenkrolle 19a, fördert die obere Förderkette 3 gleichwohl den Flaschenhals weiter, derart, daß dieser über die Führungen 20 gleiten kann, bis er von der Kette 3, die vom unteren Umlenkrad umgelenkt wird, erfaßt wird. In diesem Bereich befindet sich immer noch die obere linke Förderkette im geraden Verlauf, bis sie ihrerseits von der oberen Umlenkrolle 19a umgelenkt wird.If, as indicated in Fig. 3, the bottles are conveyed from left to right, the chains in the conveyor channel 18, marked 3a on the left in Fig. 3, also move the bottles from left to right. If the bottle neck comes into the area of the lower deflection roller 19a in Fig. 3, the upper conveyor chain 3 nevertheless continues to convey the bottle neck so that it can slide over the guides 20 until it is grasped by the chain 3, which is deflected by the lower deflection wheel. In this area, the upper left conveyor chain is still in a straight line until it is in turn deflected by the upper deflection roller 19a.
In diesem Bereich kann es zweckmäßig sein, die Flaschen 16 seitlich außen geringfügig zu führen, dafür sind einstellbare Führungsleisten 21 vorgesehen, wie sich aus Fig. 4 ergibt, sie können auch mit reibungserhöhenden Rutsch- oder Bremsleisten 22 ausgerüstet sein, um die Eigenrotation der Flaschen 16 im Übergangsbereich von einem Transportkettensystem auf das andere zu verringern.In this area, it may be expedient to guide the bottles 16 slightly on the outside; adjustable guide rails 21 are provided for this purpose, as can be seen from Fig. 4; they can also be equipped with friction-increasing sliding or braking rails 22 in order to reduce the self-rotation of the bottles 16 in the transition area from one transport chain system to the other.
Wie sich dies z.B. aus Fig. 3 und 4 ergibt, sind zweckmäßig in diesen Bereichen auch Kettenstrammer 23 und Kettenantriebe 24 vorgesehen, was in den Figuren allerdings nur angedeutet ist.As can be seen from Fig. 3 and 4, chain tensioners 23 and chain drives 24 are also expediently provided in these areas, although this is only indicated in the figures.
Wie weiter oben schon angesprochen, ermöglicht diese Art des Transportes auch, daß die Flaschen mittels der Transportketten in der Vertikalebene Krümmungen durchlaufen können, ein absteigendes Kettentrum 30, ein folgendes horizontales Kettentrum 31 und ein aufsteigendes Kettentrum 32 sind in Fig. 2 dargestellt.As already mentioned above, this type of transport also allows the bottles to traverse curves in the vertical plane by means of the transport chains; a descending chain strand 30, a following horizontal chain strand 31 and an ascending chain strand 32 are shown in Fig. 2.
Natürlich ist das beschriebene Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung noch in vielfacher Hinsicht abzuändern, ohne den Grundgedanken zu verlassen. So ist die Erfindung nicht auf die angedeutete Konfiguration des Fördersystemes nach Fig. 1 beschränkt ebenso wenig auf das in Fig. 2. Die Fördersysteme werden mittels der erfindungsgemäßen Module den jeweiligen Erfordernissen angepaßt. Auch ist die Erfindung nicht auf das Rohrtraggestell, wie es insbesondere in den Fig. 4 und 5 dargestellt ist, zur Aufnahme der entsprechenden Tragelemente geschwenkt, hier können auch andere, den räumlichen Gegebenheiten gerecht werdende Tragsysteme vorgesehen sein.Of course, the described embodiment of the invention can be modified in many ways without deviating from the basic idea. The invention is not limited to the indicated configuration of the conveyor system according to Fig. 1, nor to that in Fig. 2. The conveyor systems are adapted to the respective requirements using the modules according to the invention. The invention is also not limited to the pipe support frame, as shown in particular in Figs. 4 and 5, pivoted to accommodate the corresponding support elements; other support systems that meet the spatial conditions can also be provided here.
